The Polar Bear Son: An Inuit Tale - Paperback

by Lydia Dabcovich (Author), Lydia Dabcovich (Illustrator)

A lonely old woman adopts, cares for, and raises a polar bear as if he were her own son in this retelling of a traditional Inuit folktale.

When jealous villagers threaten the bear's life, he is forced to leave his home and his "mother."

"The story gives a picture of motherly love toward an 'adopted child, ' one the woman will love always. Heartwarming." --School Library Journal
